Tors & Landmarks

Skir Hill

Devon

Skir Hill is a low granite tor set in the open moorland of eastern Dartmoor. It lacks the dramatic rocky outcrops of more famous peaks, but offers the quiet appeal of the high moor itself. The walk to it crosses typical Dartmoor terrain, with access from nearby settlements and footpaths threading through heather and grass.

From the tor, views reach across the rolling moorland plateau and towards the darker ridges that define this part of the park. It is the kind of place where the character of Dartmoor reveals itself through scale and space rather than height or theatricality, making it a natural choice for walkers seeking a gentler exploration of the moor.
